    13% overall (not 11) for the time cut. Could be over 30 mins which should be safe for Talansky

    Talansky still has a lot of climbing to do though and is already well over 20 mins... not so sure we can call it safe right now.

    is talansky being wet or has he just seriously cracked?

    always thought his domain would be 1 week races, hasn't got the "onions" for a big tour despite last years freak result.

    Talansky 24 minutes down with 10 km to go.

    Côte d'Échallon is the most difficult one of the categorized climbs today. It’s steepest at the beginning, which makes it a great place to test your fellow escapees. There are only 20 km to go from the top, but if the riders think the struggles are over at this point, they will be in for a big surprise!

    Well he got that right. It was a pretty nasty climb that wasn't categorized.

    These guys are fearless today. Surprised there have been no crashes. Good surface though.

    He's had two serious crashes.

    Wasn't it Talansky who crashed heavily at the end of a stage about 150-200m to go? He bounced around the road quite badly.

    Yes, he injured his back and has not been sleeping since. He should make it in within the delay today.
